Yup,my dominant arm,breaking in 8/9/10ball or even playing drawshots or jacked-up was not possible without lots pain at first - if i did that my arm went numb and i couldnt even hold the cue properly. Imagine this injury happened one week prior to European championships

Still I was able to win a match in every discipline there, I just focused on every single ball and i was really thinking about my patterns so I could use only follow shots or soft stopshots. My doc told me my muscle needed 4-6 weeks of non-action to heal as the tear in my muscle was not that big. And she told me to slowly start flexing the muscle after 2 weeks to support muscle growt. At the moment my arm is 95% back but I am still being careful not to pick up weights like an idiot (thats how the injury happened in the first place

).
